IHSAA changes physical exam by-law
During its recent final meeting of the 2015‐16 school year, the IHSAA Executive Committee amended Rule 3‐10 of the By‐Laws regarding the completion of an athletic physical examination.
Effective immediately, the IHSAA pre‐participation physical evaluation form may now be completed and signed by, not only a physician with an unlimited license to practice medicine, but also nurse practitioners and physician assistants clearing high school students for athletic participation.
Between April 1 and a student’s first practice in a sport, a physical evaluation must be performed and the appropriate form completed, signed and submitted to member school administrators.
